He wrote a bunch of stupid shite, like everybody does. After he died, that stupid shite became pure genius to some people.

A bunch of downvotes. Maybe falling in love with a roller derby queen is more common than I thought. "Built like a fridgerator with a head" That line made me cringe when I was a teenager and still does.

I'm a fan of his, and Operator and I Got A Name ( the chirpin bird and the croakin toad line, had to grow on me) are a couple of my favorites, along with a couple more obscure things he did. They threw some questionable filler in there though.

Had he lived longer, he would have because there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to once you find them.

Five short minutes is a catchy song but kind of creepy

Time in a Bottle.

I deleted my rant. Song sucks.
